The day the music died.

The pendulum swings. Back in 1980 when we did Woody Allen's "God," we had to change lines like "What if the message is 'Does the queen have the clap?'" to 'Does the queen have a social disease?' And so on. Another kid wanted to do a scene from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" but was not allowed to. A decade later, our drama teacher was receiving awards for student-written productions dealing with AIDS and other teen issues.

Apparently the pendulum has swung back.
